WLP550Belgian ale yeast from White Labs is a great overall yeast strain for producing a number of classic Belgian ales. From Belgian reds, browns and whites to saisons and pales, you'll have your bases covered with this strain! It produces more spicy phenolics than fruity esters, allowing beers to express Belgian characteristics without being excessively fruity. This yeast can ferment vigorously (as many Belgian strains can) so be prepared with a blowoff tube or extra headspace in your fermenter! Many report excellent results with this strain on a range of Belgian ales. Good as a Belgian "house" yeast!
